The IDbCommand interface enables an inheriting class to implement a Command class, which represents an SQL statement that is executed at a data source. For more information about Command classes, see Executing a Command (ADO.NET).

An application does not create an instance of the IDbCommand interface directly, but creates an instance of a class that inherits IDbCommand.

Classes that inherit IDbCommand must implement all inherited members, and typically define additional members to add provider-specific functionality. For example, the IDbCommand interface defines the ExecuteNonQuery method. In turn, the SqlCommand class inherits this method, and also defines the ExecuteXmlReader method.

To promote consistency among .NET Framework data providers, name the inheriting class in the form PrvClassname where Prv is the uniform prefix given to all classes in a specific .NET Framework data provider namespace. For example, Sql is the prefix of the SqlCommand class in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace.

When you inherit from the IDbCommand interface, you should implement the following constructors:

The following example creates instances of the derived classes, SqlConnection, SqlCommand, and SqlDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it to the console. Finally, the example closes the SqlDataReader, then the SqlConnection.

Public Sub ReadOrderData(ByVal connectionString As String)
    Dim queryString As String = _
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;"
    Using connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
        Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)
        connection.Open()
        Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
        Try
            While reader.Read()
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}", _
                    reader(0), reader(1)))
            End While
        Finally
            ' Always call Close when done reading.
            reader.Close()
        End Try
    End Using
End Sub

private static void ReadOrderData(string connectionString)
{
    string queryString = 
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;";
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
               connectionString))
    {
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
            queryString, connection);
        connection.Open();
        SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
        try
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}",
                    reader[0], reader[1]));
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            // Always call Close when done reading.
            reader.Close();
        }
    }
}

Reference

La interfaz IDbCommand permite que una clase heredada implemente una clase Command, que representa una instrucción SQL que se ejecuta en un origen de datos. Para obtener más información sobre las clases Command, vea Ejecutar un comando (ADO.NET).

Una aplicación no crea una instancia de la interfaz IDbCommand directamente, sino que la crea de una clase que hereda de IDbCommand.

Las clases que heredan IDbCommand deben implementar todos los miembros heredados y suelen definir miembros adicionales para agregar la funcionalidad específica de proveedor. Por ejemplo, la interfaz IDbCommand define el método ExecuteNonQuery. A su vez, la clase SqlCommand hereda este método y también define el método ExecuteXmlReader.

Para potenciar la coherencia entre los proveedores de datos de .NET Framework, asigne a la clase heredada un nombre con el formato PrvClassname, donde Prv es el prefijo uniforme que se asigna a todas las clases de un espacio de nombres de proveedor de datos de .NET Framework específico. Por ejemplo, Sql es el prefijo de la clase SqlCommand en el espacio de nombres System.Data.SqlClient.

Al heredar de la interfaz IDbCommand, se deben implementar los siguientes constructores:

En el ejemplo siguiente se crean instancias de las clases derivadas SqlConnection, SqlCommand y SqlDataReader. Posteriormente, se leen los datos y se escriben en la consola. Por último, el ejemplo cierra SqlDataReader y, a continuación, SqlConnection.

Public Sub ReadOrderData(ByVal connectionString As String)
    Dim queryString As String = _
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;"
    Using connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
        Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)
        connection.Open()
        Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
        Try
            While reader.Read()
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}", _
                    reader(0), reader(1)))
            End While
        Finally
            ' Always call Close when done reading.
            reader.Close()
        End Try
    End Using
End Sub

private static void ReadOrderData(string connectionString)
{
    string queryString = 
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;";
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
               connectionString))
    {
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
            queryString, connection);
        connection.Open();
        SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
        try
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}",
                    reader[0], reader[1]));
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            // Always call Close when done reading.
            reader.Close();
        }
    }
}
